20yrs old Michael Sandford pleaded guilty in September to being an illegal alien in possession of a firearm and disrupting an official function.
He was accused of grabbing a policeman's gun at a rally in Las Vegas in order to shoot at Trump.
His mother Lynne Sandford says "he is remorseful over what he did".
Sandford, of Dorking area in Surrey had faced up to 10 years in prison over the assassination plot.
The court heard that he could be eligible for release in four months' time, at which point he will be deported back to his home country - the UK.
The defence team said their client is autistic and suffers seizures and obsession-compulsion anxiety.
Sandford appeared in court in orange prison garb, looking pale and slight, his ankles shackled.
He smiled as members of his family waved to him, saying "I love you."
Sandford then broke down in tears as he apologised for what he had done and for taking up time and
costing the taxpayer money.
The young man said, "I just feel terrible about it."
